The Beacon City School District held a budget presentation on May 10, 2025, led by Superintendent Matt Landau and Deputy Superintendent Ann Marie Cortorone. The meeting, conducted as a webinar, aimed to outline the district's budget for the 2025-2026 school year and engage the community through a question-and-answer format.

Superintendent Landau emphasized that the budget reflects the district's core values, which are centered around four main pillars: academic excellence, communication and community outreach, a culture of care, and facilities and fiscal sustainability. He noted that while many initiatives are ongoing, the budget also includes new elements aimed at enhancing the student experience.

During the presentation, attendees were encouraged to submit questions via a Q&A feature, allowing for real-time engagement. Landau assured participants that questions would be addressed throughout the presentation, with follow-ups for those that could not be answered immediately.

The presentation included visuals highlighting various additions to the budget that contribute to improving the educational environment for students. Further details on these initiatives and the overall budget can be found on the district's website, where longer versions of the presentation are available.

As the district prepares for the upcoming school year, the focus remains on fostering a supportive and effective learning atmosphere while ensuring financial responsibility. The community's involvement and feedback will be crucial as the budget moves forward.
